Reviews for this host's other properties

Good - Better - Helena: Great view directly over the Acropolis. The apartment was super cool and modern. Although the location was very central, with the windows closed you hear no noise. All attractions are within walking distance and plenty of pubs are located within. Helena has also organized the taxi from us to the airport and everything went well. I would highly recommend this apartment and the organization of Helena.

agréable.t apartment in a neighborhood near the metro and shops. The apartment itself is a little disappointing. Located in the semi basement, there is little light. If you go over the winter months, be sure to stay well covered at night as the air conditioning malfunctioned. The washing machine seems to be there only for decoration and it lacks a space for lunch (no functional table for more than 2 people). However, the apartment is clean and adequate bedding. Good rental if you spend little time in the day. The transfer airport / apartment is well organized. Special mention to our driver Marietta, a pearl.

We stayed here five days and have certainly enjoyed it. A nice apartment, with magnificent views over the city. The apartment is complete in terms of facilities. It includes among others a sandwich iron, good wifi, kitchen appliances and a beautiful large balcony. The apartment is located in a suburb of Athens, but with the tram and metro denotes to the center. Taxis are affordable (between 6 and 12 euros) and they drive around in abundance, so easy to keep. The neighborhood, where the apartment is also a nice neighborhood. With many cafes, bistros and restaurants. (The fish restaurant across the street, I also highly recommended).

The only downsides are that the bed was a bit hard and the apartment was not properly cleaned.

Super location, spacious apartment, well equipped. For the central location very quiet. Huge terrace, thanks to the good weather even suitable in February to sunbathe. Lovely hosts. The only drawback was the small "construction site" in the 2nd bedroom, which will be determined soon resolved.

Good location, central and close to everything and at the same time quiet at night, with great views, the we enjoyed very much. The hosts are very helpful and warm, it was wonderful to be received at the airport. The apartment is a bit worn, but well decorated and there is everything you need.

Sorry for giving my feed back this late....... it was a great stay in your flat, that's the opinion of all the 4 of us. cosy area, very familiar, it was not like being on vacation but being home. many thanks for all the extra information we got from you like restaurant tips. We will come again to this flat next time in Athens. Thanks again!!!

We had a good stay in Athens. There are some very strong points and some points for improvement for this accommodation. Overall, I will stay here again in future.

Pluses:
1. Good and very safe location. Just opposite a small park on the main road. Syntagma Square is 20 minutes by walking, or 2 metro stops. Metro station is 5 to 7 minutes away. Bus stop is just outside the apartment.
2. Overall, clean apartment reasonably working appliances.
3. The land lady's mother - Maria greeted us at the apartment. Nice welcome, helpful nature. Spoke good English.
4. Enough street parking only a block away (two streets behind the apartment), if you are planning to have a car to explore the areas outside Athens. You don't need a car to go to Athens center.

Points to improve:

1. There is no toaster in the apartment. There is one sandwich toaster, which doesn't lock properly.
2. The washing machine has all the labels in Greek. It will be helpful if an English operating manual is provided (or a quick operating instruction is given).
3. Water heater (boiler) is a bit weak. Instruction is to switch it off before going to the shower and heat up the water again before the next person goes to shower. Water gets cold quickly, especially if you are last person to go to the shower. I visited in December, but I assume that this is not a problem in spring or summer.
4. Air conditioning in the main room only (which is also a room heater). In the cold season, bedroom room remains a bit cold.
5. There is no instruction given about the public transport. I missed a quick information such as name and location of the nearest metro as well as bus station, how to go to center and different places, a sketch of the area etc. Greeks are friendly and helpful people, so you will find this out by asking people on the street, but it will be easier if the information is provided upfront.

Conclusion: Good and helpful people, good and safe location, reasonably good apartment (a bit old) with all the apparatus. Good value for the money. Will consider to stay there again.
